Nissan DeltaWing Racer: How Does It Work?

Some racing fans have been buzzing about the unusual Nissan DeltaWing race car for years while others got wind of it only when it made its racing debut at the Le Mans 24 Hours race in June. After a promising but short outing in France that ended with a crash, the arrow-shaped car made a comeback with a strong performance at the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta.

Still, many people don’t know the story or the science behind the car, or why it could eventually redefine how think about car design for the track and for the road.
